What makes you feel inspired? feeling stuck in a rut

Maybe I've already hit the January blues but scrolling through Insta - I realised that just inspired I feel in my everyday life. I regularly WFH, it's not a choice, in my industry this is very common especially for six month of the year but am an extrovert so really thrive from other people's energy and ideas. Got primary school age kids and my life just seems to be stuck between working and pick up drop offs, and once or twice a week seeing friends or parents of my kids' friends. Used to live in the centre but have now moved for the suburbs and it just feels like moments when I feel inspired are so few and far between. Before kids, I used to love travelling, hiking in the mountains most weekends (but have moved away now so no longer an option), going to the cinema, reading. Maybe it's perimenopause talking but it just feels like am stuck in a rut. What makes you feel inspired and if you used to be stuck in a rut - what helped you to get out?

I suppose it depends what your idea of a rut is. What you describe is similar to my life and I would imagine many other parents, about activities based around the children and less ourselves. I suppose it is about trying to find those activities that inspire you as well as the kids.
